The Treaty of Sugauli (likewise spelled Sugowlee, Sagauli and Segqulee), the settlement that built up the limit line of Nepal, was marked on 2 December 1815 and confirmed by 4 March 1816 between the East India Company and King of Nepal taking after the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16. The signatory for Nepal was Raj Guru Gajraj Mishra supported by Chandra Sekher Upadhayaya,the signatory for the Company was Lieutenant Colonel Paris Bradshaw. The arrangement called for regional concessions in which a portion of the regions controlled by Nepal would be given to British India, the foundation of a British agent in Kathmandu, and permitted Britain to enroll Gurkhas for military administration. Nepal likewise lost the privilege to send any American or European worker in its administration (prior a few French officers had been conveyed to prepare the Nepali armed force).
Under the settlement, around 33% of Nepalese-controlled region was lost including every one of the regions that the King of Nepal had won in wars over the most recent 25 years or so, for example, Sikkim in the east, Kumaon Kingdom and Garhwal Kingdom (otherwise called Gadhwal) in the west. A portion of the Terai grounds were talented to Nepal in 1816 and more were skilled in 1860 as much obliged for helping the British to smother the Indian disobedience of 1857.
The British delegate in Kathmandu was the primary Westerner permitted to live in the post-Malla Era Nepal. (It is to be noticed that couple of Christian evangelists working were expelled by the Gorkhas in the wake of vanquishing Nepa amid the mid eighteenth century). The main agent was Edward Gardner, who was introduced at a compound north of Kathmandu. That site is presently called Lazimpat and is home to the Indian and British government offices. The Sugauli Treaty was superseded in December 1923 by an "arrangement of ceaseless peace and kinship," which redesigned the British occupant to an agent. A different arrangement was marked with India (autonomous at this point) in 1950 which set up relations between the two nations.
